First time I heard about TDR Nova, was someone recommending it for getting better bass during mixing. Well... It turned out to be a beast in all aspects.

7:08 the reason it still does something is because the bell curve is wider. The reason the EQ stops at somewhere around 22-24kHz is because you have a signal that is sampled at 44-48kHz and the Nyquist theorem says that half of your sample rate is the highest frequency you can reconstruct.

Dynamic EQ's have been around for quite a while. A really good freeware one is Nova by TDR Labs.

In your ''tonewood'' blind test did you also flatten out the low-end dynamics(on PM notes) using dynamic eq?

Been using it since Izotope introduced it into their Ozone software. Absolutely love it.

Seems pretty good and much less money than other more famous multiband EQs, like Fabfilter or Neutron 3's dynamic EQ.

I wonder if this can be used for dynamic notching of vocal mics. It would be handy to be able to kill feedback in a live setting.

I commented on your other video about trying to get a good desk/mic set up when using the PC for tutorials (I have the Aston Stealth). Seeing your desk set up.. I'm not hearing any desk noise or keyboard taps. Do you have any tips as to you get this to work so well? Does your stand have dampening? Is there something in your chain that helps, like EQ/comp?

Dang that’s pretty legit

Waves F6 is a pretty good dynamic EQ as well, usually goes on sale for $30 or so

You might want to cover NoteEQ. I believe it's specifically designed for evening out bass guitar tracks, but would probably work for any monophonic source.

What can this do what fabfilter q3 can't do? Or what their multiband compressor can't do?

Hey Glenn, what do you think of the dynamic EQ that comes with Reaper ?

6:45 what your hearing is you removing the low pass filter you put on.

hey man, I have a question. are you compressing the snare on the way in? im trying to figure out why I dont have issues with high hat bleed. I dont compress going in. only after, and after I gate the snare. no issues with any bleed over. I was taught to records drums dry and process after. forgive me if my question is dumb. thank you for your channel and great work.

If its a track he recorded himself, then I will say "yes he is".

I am not him. Just going on a past video, and i only commented in case he doesn't see your comment

Is there a benefit to doing this over using a multiband compressor to duck the lower frequencies?

In general humans don't hear or experience much above 20kHz. Human hearing cuts off before that. So in theory you really shouldn't notice much by EQing that (there's some stereo phenomena involving higher frequencies). Although it's true a lot of audio machines are designed with sample rates or feedback loops that due to the Nyquist-Shannon Sampling theorem *may* not reliably recreate frequencies above 20kHz. In general you're looking at being able to reliably recreate frequencies at half your recording frequency. However, that is not a guarantee of anything. You may still be able to do so and probably can if you had a pure digital set up. The reality is a lot of A/D converters, recording formats, audio plugins, and audio hardware just straight up filter content in the 20kHz and above region out behind the scenes. I used to work with compressed sensing which is a clever hack to get around that limitation.

@hairdressershusband

Well it's been shown that ultrasonic components do indeed have an effect on perception ("Effects of ultrasonic components on perceived tone quality" Kamada et al., 1989) but when working in mixing, there's so much else going on that it's hard to tell that they're missing (not to mention they're generally very weak!). And ya, you're right that A/D's just completely remove everything above the Nyquist before sending out the digital signal. According to the Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem, you literally cannot represent frequencies above fs/2.

Obviously Glenn knows that dynamic EQ has been around for years but he still has to make the company feel unique! Glad they could "break new grounds" wow so innovative!!

Quote of the year.... "This is gonna be one of my favorite gates...... and it's not even a gate, it's an EQ!!!". I think we have a winner! lol

I've been really enjoying the Sonible SoniqEQ 3, which has dynamic as an option. Quite a bit more expensive than this one though.

Hi glen, what are your opinions on cheaper mic cables? Specifically stagg, I have heard sonically there's no difference when dealing with very short runs, and that the difference comes with durability and interference. I personally need quite a few 3m cables for recording drums and would be a heck of a lot cheaper. I also will not have any chargers or anything near the cables so interference should be okay? One they are plugged in I also don't plan to move them! Cheers and hope your doing great!

Glenn!!!!!! You are a mad scientist. I know you won’t except what I have to say, but that’s ok. You are so well praised I am honored I found your channel. You are a master at your craft, and I highly doubt there are many people who can accomplish what you do. Your channel is amazing, and I think that you know this. Even though you have tutorials and walk through’s. I still don’t think many people be can be as good as you. I think your the best and also my favorite KZread personality!!! Fuck you Glen!!!!!

I think the reaEQ has some anti alias filter problem, restricting the highest frequencies you route through it. But that's just a guess. Nyquist theorem is more about requiring a minimum sample rate that is double the amount of the highest frequency you want to record.

Dynamic EQ has been a thing for a long time

Band solo is a pretty big selling point!

Check out the dynamic link function i.e. link two instances on two different tracks and when you boost a frequency on one track the 'linked' track automatically reduces the same frequency by the same amount, pretty cool for defining layered guitars or separating overlapping instruments. p.s. FYG

Glenn! I need help and have no one else to ask about this, but every time I export on reaper, the result always sounds significantly different than in-project audio. How can I fix this??

I swear i was designing something like this in my mind like a month ago. I was using multiple child tracks and assign them eq's and compressors individually for every single resonant peak so they are dimmed only when i 'play them'. this thing exactly does it with zero hustle.

OH MY GOD NOBODY MADE A DYNAMIC EQ BEFORE OMG!!!

Nyquist theory: The highest frequency that can be reproduced by a digital audio system (PCM, anyway) is half its sample rate; at 44.1k, that means your maximum frequency is 22.05 kHz. If you feed higher frequencies than that to an A/D converter, you'll get aliasing (lower-frequency representation of that input), which sounds really weird and completely unrelated to the audio you input into it. So, A/D converters have a Nyquist filter that rolls off audio on the way in, just ahead of the max frequency. There's no point in trying to EQ frequencies above that frequency because they won't be there.

Dynamic Spectrum Mapper has been around for a long time.

Waves F6 is almost always at $30 and TDR Nova GE is $60! The free version of the Nova just has less bands.

Nothing new here. I've been using a plugin called TDR nova for ages. It's a 4 band dynamic EQ that's totally free. really great for filtering fizz

ok so on a serious topic... please share the Reaper trick to switch between active plug-ins. Is this a custom action? Is it part of SWS?

I have the waves f6

I just recently learned how to do most of that on Reaper ReaEQ. It's got it's own odd way of setting up sidechaining even on plugins that don't natively have it but it certainly works. Something occurred to me though. The crowding in the top end, you said? I mean, could we get rid of that by just omitting the high pass filter - or, maybe put a high shelf in there? Can't try that out just now as I'm rendering a ton of MP3's from one project (don't ask why I have a ton of songs in one project. Please. Just don't. :) ) I'm a damn cheapskate hobbyist so I look for all kinds of fun workarounds.
